Compare Changes in Panorama Configurations
To compare configuration changes on Panorama, you can select any two sets of configuration files: the
candidate configuration, the running configuration, or any other configuration version that has been
previously saved or committed on Panorama. The side‐by‐side comparison allows you to:
Preview the changes in configuration before committing them to Panorama. You can, for example,

preview the changes between the candidate configuration and the running configuration. As a best

compare and identify modifications.
Perform a configuration audit to review and compare the changes between two sets of configuration files.
